Insurance subrogation Pre-Trial Order ** March 31, 2014
TechShield Radiant Barrier lawsuit
Subrogation Claim: The foil aided to a house fire via lightning strike. Builder and manufacturer fault.
“Foil creates an increased risk of fire hazard. Foil melts through resistive heating and/or ablates when energized by electricity.” ** *
Grounded?*
Might suggest some type disclaimer in the (TREC) electrical section. Any BS shotgun subrogation costs dollars.
I’ve used lightning and surge protection paragraphs for 15+ years.
Do not contact me. Read the damn thing before you bark at the moon.
May incorporate into the (TPREIA/NACHI) Kilgore College Pre-Drywall Inspection class Sept. 12, 2015. Class PowerPoint being developed.

If NACHI doesn’t let insurance companies into this section then the other insurers won’t learn a new way of extortion.

I used this radiant barrier in my own home. Now what, there’s some kind of fire hazard to it? More information would be appreciated.

I just read the article. My house has the RBS. How legit is this group making the claims about the lightning danger? Now I need to disclose this if I ever sell my house?

No need to disclose. The house is now unsaleable.

Just kidding Frank, The CSST or appliance connector will probably ignite first.
